All Progressives Congress and the major opposition party in Ekiti State, the Peoples Democratic Party, on Wednesday traded words as the Independent National Electoral Commission released the timetable for the 2022 governorship election in the state.
PDP while reacting to the release of the timetable said APC should bid the government house goodbye because it would employ every legal means to defeat the ruling party.
Meanwhile, APC on its part expressed confidence that its candidate will succeed Governor Kayode Fayemi.
INEC timetable scheduled the Ekiti State Governorship election for June 18, 2022.
APC Publicity Secretary, Ade Ajayi, said, “The PDP is bedevilled with a myriad of crises that won’t allow it to win any election.
“Let me tell you that we are prepared and well-grounded to win the poll. APC is a more cohesive party. We are united under the leadership of Governor Fayemi. We are banking on our impressive performances to win and we are sure that the PDP will suffer another defeat again as they did in 2018.”
But his counterpart in PDP, Raphael Adeyanju said “We know Ekiti (people) will reject a party that has disappointed them. A party that can’t fix their roads, that can’t provide employment for youths, that can’t effect promotions for workers, can’t continue to rule us. So, we are well prepared.
“You can all see that the PDP demonstrated maturity in the way we handled our zonal congress while all issues relating to the state zonal congress were being resolved amicably without rancour.”
